Well it aint today and I doubt it will be tomorrow  ;D

If I was a betting guru I'd say by the end of the week

What odds would Luxbet.com give me  :rollin

at 6.15pm its not going to be today. I have to say this looks very unprofessional from our part, furthermore, our merchandise etc jumpers are still unavailable. its turning into a farce and a fiasco. the club should pull the finger out and do something. this is now getting beyond a joke.

Ramps they are doing something - they are negotiating with Luxbet I would think.  ;D

Gotta make sure we get (at a minimum) the same deal from Luxbet that was on offer from Sportsbet...

We had a deal (in principle with Sportsbet) that the AFL scuttled now we have to do the "due dillegence" with the newbie

You've just gotta believe

It will get done  :thumbsup

WilliamPowell I really hope that this one isn't stuffed up by the AFL like the last one.
Maybe just for the AFL we should change our names to Collingwood get the deal done then change it back as quick as we can.

I've heard about 50 different names floating around when it comes to our second sponsor. Hopefully we have a couple of takers who are bidding against each other and we are trying to secure the best deal possible.

Even if it is only Luxbet bidding, from the sounds of it they are reasonably new players in the game. We did all our work with SportsBet and now we need to go through the process with another suitor. What would be unprofessional would be rushing into a deal and not doing our due diligence and ensuring the best deal possible. So it takes an extra week or two. Frankly I don't care if the don't sign until just before the season.

Of course I do care if no one signs, but I doubt the AFL will let this happen. After scuttling a perfectly good deal for us they would look pretty stupid (well more stupid than they already look) if we ended up with no one.

You are on the money willy...as usual.

Luxbet is the one, can confirm we have not been disadvantaged financially by the afl having a lack of testicular fortitude.

Great deal by March and Co. We now have a full compliment of sponsors and merchandise will be available next week.
